I {heart}Sketch032

I went clean and simple with this weeks challenge 32 but I can see all kinds of possibilities by adding flowers with lots and lots of embellishments!

Do you like the look of buttons but not the bulk or weight they add to your cards? I started to make my own buttons using a button die. Start by die cutting the buttons with coordinating papers. Press the top side of the paper onto a VersaMark pad and dip into clear embossing powder and heat set. While the melted powder is still warm, dip into the powder again – heat set again. One more time dip the melted powder into the embossing powder and heat set again. You should have a nice shiny button to use on all of your projects! Best part is, you always have a button to match and you don’t have a whole drawer of buttons of sizes and shapes you will never use!!!

A little bit about me…

I LOVE making cards. For me, making greeting cards is a cheap (relatively) form of therapy.
My hubby is one of the most wonderful, caring men in this world. We have two children that are married and they have each blessed us with two grandsons.
Sunday is usually the day we get together as a family and sit down for a meal. The noise levels at time reads pretty high on the decibel meter but I wouldn't change it for anything in this world.
I am a huge sports fan; especially the Minnesota Twins and the Minnesota Vikings. I haven't had much to cheer about lately but one of these years but that's okay as I enjoy just watching the games.
I watch entirely too much television - I enjoy Project Runway, Top Chef, American Idol, NCIS, Castle, Suits, the list goes on - all I can say is thank goodness for DVR!
Thank you for stopping by - I love visitors and I hope you drop by often.
